Drake’s Take Care(YM/CM/Universal Rep.), dropped from #4 to the #7 spot after selling 71,953 units in its fourth week. The album most likely will reach platinum status by this time next week, as it’s just under 10,000 copies away from reaching the mark. Today, Drake released the dates for his Club Paradise Tour, which will kick off in February with Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky.
